Source Distributions

Apache Ant™

Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that help
building software.

Downloading Apache Ant

Use the links below to download a source distribution of Ant from
one of our mirrors. It is good practice to
verify the integrity
of the distribution files, especially if you are using one of our
mirror sites. In order to do this you must use the signatures from
our main distribution
directory.

Ant is distributed as zip, tar.gz and
tar.bz2 archives - the contents are the same. Please
note that the tar.* archives contain file names longer
than 100 characters and have been created using GNU tar extensions.
Thus they must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of
tar.

Mirror

You are currently using http://mirrors.sonic.net/apache/. If you encounter a
problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all
mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of
the mirrors list) that should be available.

Current Release of Apache Ant

Currently, Apache Ant 1.9.7 is the best available version, see the
release notes.

Note

Ant 1.9.7 was released on 12-Apr-2016 and
may not be available on all mirrors for a few days.

Tar files may require gnu tar to extract

Tar files in the distribution contain long file names, and may
require gnu tar to do the extraction.

Old Ant Releases

Older releases of Ant can be found here. We highly
recommend to not use those releases but upgrade to Ant's latest release.

Verify Releases

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP signature or the SHA1, SHA512 or MD5 checksums. The
checksums are not as strong indicators as the PGP signature.

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First
download the KEYS
as well as the asc signature file for the particular
distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution
directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
using

Alternatively, you can verify the checksums on the files. Unix
programs called md5/sha1/sha512 or
md5sum/sha1sum/sha512sum are included in many unix
distributions. *sum is also available as part of GNU
Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here. fsum supports MD5 and
SHA1.
